Hi,

Your csv file might not import because at least two compulsory fields are
blank:
- Shortname is compulsory (missing)
- Openingdate is compulsory (missing)

I have not tried to import orgunits with those fields missing for a looong
time, but while i seem to recall a missing openingdate would be replaced by
the default date 1970-01-01, I don't think the same happens for shortnames
(note; I could be wrong).

in any case, it's a bad habit to import orgunits with such key fields blank
(for instance, it's unlikely that opening dates from 1970 is anywhere near
the correct openingdates).

Regards
Calle
